[GarterSnake788]

So since this thread is nearly 3k pages long, forgive me if anything I'm about to mention has been stated or restated a bunch of times, but I was rereading the first few pages and it got me thinking about the number of Joes who have appeared from different states, so I noted everything from 82-94 down and noticed a few interesting things:

Despite the glut of Joes from Rhode Island in comparison to its size, there was a 5-year period where Ace was the only Rhode Islander on the team. Repeater and Skystriker opened the floodgates in 1988, with another 12 Joes following them in the next 6 years, often times including multiple members of subteams.

Chicago, New York City (counting the Joes from Brooklyn and Queens), and Providence are tied for the most Joes coming from their city, with 7 each.

Colorado had the longest wait between Joes, with Hawk in 82 and Mace in 93 both being from Denver. The next longest was a tie between my home state of Pennsylvania, with Steeler in 82 and Windmill in 88, Michigan, with Stalker also in 82 and then Shockwave, also in 88, and Wyoming, with Outback in 87 and Robo-Joe in 93.

There were never any Joes from Delaware or South Dakota.

California is tied with Rhode Island for the highest number of Joes (15 each).

Hope any of this trivia is interesting.

Maine only had 2 Joes, and they both died in the comics.

Yes I was always bummed we only had steeler for such a long time. Not really liking the steelers didn’t help much either

That's pretty crazy you went through all that GarterSnake788.

Puerto Rico is also not represented, although I always assumed Zap is Puerto Rican. But has a population of 3 Million which is more than Wyoming, Delaware, South Dakota and US Virgin Islands Combined and US VI gets Rampart. I'm also Surprised there are no Filipino Joes. Washington DC doesn't get any love either, although I feel like I'm wrong about DC. Gen Flagg maybe?

[Loose Cannon]

Actually Gen Flagg was born in Philly now I google it.

I have to look it up but I had a list of all the Joes and their places of birth. There are definitely several states that aren’t represented but I can’t remember which ones.

[Loose Cannon]

I think it's just Delaware. I just remembered Cannonball is from South Dakota.

[Loose Cannon]

I take that back. Sgt. Smasher is from Delaware, so I think there a covered now.

Yeah it was odd that a few places got left out. There's actually a Joe from Cuba (Snow Storm) and one from Quebec (Backstop), but not DC, PR, or the Virgin Islands. American Samoa has Red Dog, at least.

Nice that all the states eventually got someone. I'd have gone past 94, but I'd already been at it for a while when I got to the end of that run.

PR doesn't get a Joe, yet Canada, Turkiye, Cuba, Australia and the UK all do...
